I’m thinking that if they reset all the launch codes to 00000000 they could do it successfully with no problem!
That’s the same combination that I have on my luggage.
Dont believe everything you read on Gizmodo or Snopes either.
Both are full of crap.
Hydrazine huh.
I was an LGM25C. what’s your connection?
No, that was the day to day non-launch setting. The actual unlock codes, half of which were known only to one or the other launch crew member. Two crew members each dialed in their half when valid launch orders were received. Setting zeroes will do nothing. I was a missile launch officer, airborne missile launch officer and involved with nuclear command and control at various levels throughout my career.
By the way, the null setting for the code components was zeroes for many more than 20 years. Also, the split crypto code combinations are regularly changed.
